A method of optical and microwave synergistic retrieval of aboveground biomass, the method including: 1) obtaining an observation value of aboveground biomass (AGB) of a sample plot; 2) pre-processing laser radar (LiDAR) data, optical remote sensing data and microwave remote sensing data covering a research region, to yield crown height model (CHM) data, surface reflectance data and a backscattering coefficient, respectively; 3) extracting different LiDAR variables, extracting a plurality of optical characteristic vegetation indexes, and extracting a plurality of microwave characteristic variables; 4) establishing a multiple stepwise linear regression model of the biomass; 5) taking the biomass value of the LiDAR data coverage region as a training set and a verification sample set, and selecting samples for modeling and verification; 6) screening out the optical and microwave characteristic variables; and 7) constructing an optical model, a microwave model, and an optical and microwave synergistic model of AGB retrieval, respectively.
